Here's the real problem!

The following two Pics were posted on Facebook by the same person!
This one was first - a couple of days ago



And this one from earlier today.


This is from the same person who believe very much in both of these statements!!!
Somehow she is able to disconnect how image #2 caused image #1. This is an epidemic in this country! People who want change and a fair shot but can't make the connection in the way that they vote. They believe Voting Democrat is wrong and voting Republican is Patriotic! The way they vote is not patriotic, its idiotic!

1. I always say that patriotism and religion are tools used by the ruling elite to control the masses

The republicans and their beliefs totally support that. By the way, there is no way I believe that if you are a democrat that you aren't patriotic.

The hippies that protested Vietnam were labeled traitors, communist, etc. Why? They weren't true patriots becuase they didn't want to throw their lives away in a pointless war? How does blindly following the ruling elite into mistakes in which you pay with your life patriotic? The hippies were the true patriots. Their vision of America had something to do with freedom.

I said it before and I'll say it again. If our founding fathers and Jesus were alive today, I bet they'd all be living on a commune and smoking pot.

2. Why I left FB until after the election

You can clearly see from this example how people just pass along things on Facebook without really understanding what they're doing and/or what these things mean. This is a blatant case of ignorance. Reminds me of a quote by Craig T. Nelson: "I've been on food stamps and welfare, did anyone help me out? No." Idiot.
